1) Which MySQL Workbench version do you use/did you try?
mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.47-1el6.x86_64.rpm

2) On which operating system do you use WB?
RHEL 6.4 64bit
3) If relevant: which MySQL Server version do you use and is it a local or remote machine?
MySQL 5.6
The server is remote. Login via vnc as non-root user.
4) Specify the part of MySQL Workbench you have the problem with.
Installation.

Background: Linux noob. Mysql noob. Given task to install Apache, mysql, etc. I could use an assist!

Note: Initially configured vncserver with OS root login access. Installed WorkBench (mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.47-1el6.x86_64.rpm) under root session. I did test and WorkBench launched under the root session. Later realized the security flaw of root access via vncserver. Now vncserver access is via account "mpnl" that must sudo for root privs.
